The Pembroke corgi is the result of crossbreeding between the Cardigan and a number of indigenous dwarf breeds.
The late Queen Elizabeth II famously loved the corgi breed. During her 70-year reign, the late Queen raised more than 30 corgis, and they are often featured in photographs, as well as at important events of the Queen.
In 1933, at the age of seven, Elizabeth wanted to adopt a corgi after playing with friends who owned the dog, according to the BBC. It was the Queen's father, King George VI, who first introduced a corgi named Dookie into the British Royal Family.

During the state funeral of the late Queen, two corgi dogs named Muick and Sandy were also led to wait for the arrival of the Queen's coffin at Windsor Castle on September 19.
The last corgi that the late Queen kept, named Willow, also passed away in 2018 before her 92nd birthday. It is known that Willow was released to avoid suffering from cancer when he was nearly 15 years old. Willow's death made the late Queen extremely sad, because he was the last descendant of the purebred corgi.
After the late Queen's death, two corgi dogs Muick and Sandy will move in with her son Prince Andrew Andrew, Duke of York and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, Duchess York, at the Royal Lodge near Windsor Castle.
Prince Andrew became the Duke of York after he married Sarah in 1986. Despite his divorce from Andrew in 1996, Sarah was still allowed to use the title Duchess of York until she marry someone else.
